Mining history
When the mine was first awarded is not clear from the documents. There is evidence that the mine was in operation in 1737. On January 9, 1750, the St. Anna colliery was muted, which had only been in operation with a shaft for a few years. In the years 1754 and 1755, the Sybilla colliery was within deadlines , the reason for this being that the mine had to wait for a deep tunnel . A short time later the mine was put back into operation. On November 13, 1765, a new test was made for a mine field . This mock pit field was right next to the field of the Anna mine. After the assumption, the pit field was measured . The mine was in operation in 1769. The operating facilities were located on today's Vormholzer Straße, southeast of the riding hall. On April 8, 1772, a length field extension was awarded under the name St. Anna & Sybilla. The mine was in operation from 1854 to 1865. In 1855 the mine was by the St. John Erbstollen solved . In 1867 the St. Johannes Erbstollen was mined above the bottom of the Erbstollen . The coal mined was conveyed in the Heinrich shaft . The shaft weighed tons and had a depth of 57 laughs . The shaft previously belonged to the Stralsund colliery and was equipped with a horse peg. In 1868, the Heinrich shaft was, deep down to the level of the third floor, which was at a depth of 67 Lach Tern geteuft . In 1870 the Sybilla colliery was renamed the St. Anna & Sybilla colliery. The renaming had become necessary due to the award and was ordered by the mining authorities .

The St. Anna & Sybilla colliery emerged from the renaming of the Sybilla colliery and the associated St. Anna & Sybilla extension. In 1870, at the time of the renaming , the rightful encompassed a length field with a length field extension. It was the Heinrich shaft, which was equipped with a horse peg, in production. At that time the shaft had a shallow depth of 67 laughs. In 1875 the Heinrich shaft was sunk down to a shallow depth of 173 meters. Despite this depth, the level of the shaft sump was still above the bottom of the St. Johannes Erbstollen. On August 1, 1878, the mine was closed. In the following year the owner of the mine changed and in May the mine was put back into operation. On May 31, 1880, the St. Anna & Sybilla colliery was shut down again. In the years 1906 to 1913 the mine was closed by the Laurentius Erbstollen . In 1921 the mine was put back into operation under the name Zeche Anna & Sybilla.

The first known workforce figures come from the year 1869, when 18 miners were producing 3320 tons of hard coal. In the year it was renamed to Zeche St. Anna & Sybilla, 19 miners extracted 16,505 Prussian tonnes of hard coal. In 1875, 26 miners extracted 3,653 tons of hard coal.
